MD-10 inbound from Oakland. Crew of 2 + 5 jumpseaters.

Some dramatic footage on local TV of the crew going down the front ropes. One guy either jumped or slipped and went down in a free-fall. Only minor injuries.

I'm in the MEM hub and the information is sketchy - Landing on 36R, departed pavement to the east, collapsed a gear and nacelle, massive fire in wing root that consumed ~60% of right fuselage skin.
